Chapter 22: The Sharingan secret;Final Battle; Yagami VS Shishio

"This man, how did he come to learn that technique?" Saito questioned. Sasuke than stepped up to answer.

"That's the Sharingan, it is a bloodline limit skill that only those who are under the family line of Uchihas acquire this skill. It enables the person to see moves and copy them. My brother must have used it when he fought against you. But our sensei has a much higher level of the Sharingan; the Makekyo Sharingan."

"Makekyo…Sharingan?" Saito again asked. Sasuke continued, " It is the highest level of the Sharingan. It gives the user the ability to use hyposis on the opponent and acquires two new skills; the Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi. Tsukuyomi is the hyposis attack where the user sends the opponent into another dimension and tortures him for 72 hours when it really lasts only 3 secs in reality. Amaterasu is a skill where the user wields a black flame to burn the opponent's body for 7 days and nights. The flame, when touched, will spread across to the other person's body and will occur the same effects." Finishing his explanation, Saito finally understood the rationale behind Yagami's secret. Watching the fight, Yagami took the early advantage and struck Shishio down. Just as Yagami could deliver the final blow, Shishio threw some dust into his face and inflicted a large cut to his arm. Falling back to the cage, the others helped him up. Seeing the blood from his injured arm, Yagami went to activate the cursed seal and went into the 'Riot Blood' form. With his strength increased tremendously, the Hokage went up again for a series of chain attacks but once again Shishio found a way to get his way out of his opponent strikes. Taunting him, Shishio performed one-hand seals, "You think you're the only one who can learn ninjutsu? Watch this! Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" Yagami was caught offguard and was struck with many slashes by the clones. All grabbed the unconscious Yagami before Shishio executed his next jutsu, "Bushin Daibakuha!" The clones lit up and formed a large explosion than sent Yagami crashing to the ground but he was not down yet. As the smoke cleared Shishio saw Yagami standing up and removing his battle-damaged cloak to reveal his body covered with the cursed seal; the Hokage went into the 'Berserker Bararge' form. Again Shishio created clones but Yagami evaded all of them with ease, killing them along the way. When the Hokage reached his target, he grabbed hold of Shishio and performed 'Messatsu Gou Hadou', punching and slashing his opponent before blowing him up with the Amaterasu flame in mid-air, followed by sending two diagonal sword slashes and than sending the same Amaterasu flame erupting from the ground; a combo no one could survive. Yagami quickly ran to the cage and freed the others, suddenly all stood in shock; Shishio was standing unscathed, without even a single scratch laid on him. Kenshin, Saito and the chuunins went forward to defeat the opponent but he was able to handle all of them. Yagami could not believe what he had just witness as he stood at his spot, confused. In an instance Shishio took care of Kenshin and Saito before handling the chuunins. Naruto and Sasuke defended well but as Sakura went charging towards Shishio with a kunai, the unthinkable happened; Sakura stood motionless, the blade had went through her abdomen; Shishio had just murdered the young chuunin. Yagami saw what had just happened and went in a frenzy, the seal spread to his face and charged violently to Shishio but he parried the Izayoi away, but he did not realize that when the Izayoi came in contact with a person who had chakra, the Izayoi would absorb the entire chakra from the opponent's body; similar to Kisame's Samehada. Shishio suddenly felt weak all over as he saw Yagami standing in determination and used his Izayoi to create a pair of clones.

"Now let's show him we can do the same thing! Mikazuchi no Mai! (Dance of the crescent moon) " The Yagami clones circled around Shishio, confusing him as the original came towards him and thrusted his sword into Shishio's shoulder.

"This is for what you did to all them, this is for Haruno Sakura!" Pulling the Izayoi out of Shishio's bleeding shoulder, Yagami was surrounded by his Amaterasu flame, all the unconscious comrades were experiencing their first sight of Yagami using his cursed seal to the Dragon's fury form. With the pair of Dragon wings emerging from his back, he grabbed the offguard Shishio and executed the 'Ryu Rendan' finishing him off by crushing Shishio face first into the concrete floor and than exerted all his strength and chakra to do his final dark martial art skill, "Now I'll send you to the Purgatory! Shou Goku Satsu!" The same white light blinded Shishio and was dealt with fast punches and kicks. With the light finally disappearing, the chuunins, along with Kenshin and Saito saw Yagami calming himself down as the glowing Chinese character of 'Dragon' flashed across his back. The cursed seal finally settled down and Yagami rushed to Sakura.

"I kept my promise Sakura, why didn't you do the same for me?" He whispered to her as he shed tears for the first time. Sakura, still conscious, put her hand on his face to console him, "I'm sorry…Hokage sensei…but at least…I tried." As she slowly closed her eyes, Yagami performed the Genesis of rebirth technique to enable Sakura to stay alive, as the cave walls were about to collapse. Escaping from the old temple, they stood outside to see the old building crumble to pieces. Yagami, Kenshin and the chuunins rushed Sakura back to the Dojo where Kaoru stitched back the opened wound while Yagami filled her with chakra. Sakura finally came around to see Yagami hugging her with joy as he said into her ear, "Like I said, I will not let any of my loved ones leave me first." Allowing her to rest, Yagami wondered where Saito had gone. Kenshin told him that the Miburo wolf had returned back to the station. A few hours later, Saito came back with Yagami and the chuunins' profiles. Handing them back, he lit his cigarette as he thanked Yagami and Kenshin for their help in eliminating the Shinsengumi and Shishio before leaving the scene.

The next day, The Hokage and chuunins could not bear to leave the Dojo but had to return back to Konoha.

"Come back and visit when you have the time." Kaoru told Yagami. A week later of walking through the forest, the team finally reached home to the village of Konoha. Happy to be at their home village, Yagami went to his office to put back his profiles and the S-Rank mission into his archive before finding Jiraiya who was hiding in one of the classrooms.

"Jiraiya san, what are you doing in here?" Jiraiya stood up and told Yagami everything about the women chasing after him. When they walked out to the training area, they were greeted with the female residents of Konoha, both young and middle aged as they complained to the Hokage, "This pervert! He kept looking into the hotsprings when you were not around, how could you let me take your temporary status as Hokage, nevertheless, we have to deal with him by hook or by crook today!"

"Sorry Jiraiya san, I can't help you on this. I did told you to keep order while I'm gone." With that the group of females chased after Jiraiya as Yagami stood in his spot and smiled.
